The latest appointment comes after the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange on March 18 after a business combination with Bridgetown 2, a SPAC backed by billionaire investors Peter Thiel and Richard Li.

PropertyGuru lost US$270 million in its market cap after its first two days of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. As of writing, its market cap is slightly over US$1 billion – well below the equity value of about US$1.8 billion and enterprise value of over US$1.3 billion in the SPAC agreement it signed last year.
